How it works +

The server samples coordinates uniformly in a square. Points with x² + y² ≤ 1 lie inside the inscribed circle. Estimated π = 4 × points inside ÷ total points.

All points contribute to the totals. The canvas shows the last 1,500 points; the curve shows cumulative estimates over the last 100. Finite random samples fluctuate and do not always improve the estimate.
